I have had the same sort of trouble recently - after a fairly long spell of minor pain and discomfort, some really rough nights (and days) of pain and spasms.
Am trying to ride it out without immediate intervention, just relying on GTN and pregabalin. Don't know if that will work or not, but am giving it a try. I find that when I do go and see a consultant, after the inevitable lengthy wait they don't really have anything new to suggest - except Botox, which I'm still wary of.
Yes, it is so depressing.
I hope your appointment with the new CRS gives you some relief.
